Maes Creek Cemetery is located at the Junction of Maes Creek and Turkey Creek Road (SW 1/4 of SW 1/4 of Sec 11, T26S, R69W).  This cemetery has been referred to as all of the above names in the church records.  Recently a large sign was placed over the entrance calling it Valdez Cemetery.  However, Valdez Cemetery is located in another area.
